The article completely fails to mention (but, probably not studied, either) the damage that these incontinence drugs to do the elderly as well.
I see so many patients, older patients, who come to me as their new primary care physician and they are on drugs that boggles my mind. I saw a 91 year old guy today who's a little bit diabetic. He didn't want drugs, his daughter didn't want drugs, and I just didn't see the point in making the guy take yet another drug when I would probably do more damage than good with a diabetes medicine. I was going to tell him to lay off the ice cream at night, but then I thought "Screw it, he's 91. IF he wants ice cream, then let him eat ice cream".
